My 164th recipe with the Wednesday with Donna Hay group is Spiced Meatballs in Sticky Chili Sauce. The recipe can be found in One Pan Perfect by Donna Hay on page 80.
Ingredients: ground beef, garlic, Gochujang (Korean Chili paste), scallions, ginger, sesame oil, vegetable oil, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and rice, cucumbers, and kimchi to serve.
One of us here loves Asian flavors. One of us not so much. The one that doesn’t love them so much will sometimes be patient and go along with an Asian-inspired meal that I am cooking...okay, Sort-Of. As you see, in the photo above, is the meal as intended with the recipe, and a fine meal it was. The Sort-Of-Guy had his meatballs with mashed potatoes and carrots and none of the other things you see in the photo, which was just fine with me as the meatballs are the featured item. These meatballs are wonderful, sticky, spicy, full of flavor…a kind of Korean barbecue sort of flavor. I loved them and I would make them often if the Sort-Of-Guy would agree, and he just might if he can have them with mashed potatoes because mashed potatoes are one of his favorite things on earth. So, I guess this is one of those mash-up meals for him. I’m good with the meal as intended in recipe and book.
